EEG + Signal to Noise

In 1994 I was a volunteer in a study conducted by the neuro-science unit at Swinburne Institute. I wore a newly-developed 64 electrode EEG headset (see image below) and undertook a series of tests. I asked for a print-out of my brain-wave activity (indicated by the various colors).

I then made an artwork by over-laying one print over the other. In 1996 I was invited by Joe Stozic (keyboard player) to provide the visuals at The Punters Club, Brunswick Street, Melbourne, for a performance of the techno band 'Signal to Noise', where I projected all my brain wave images onto the wall.

FYI after undertaking the testing of the headset I was informed that I was one of the three percent of people whose brainwaves are affected by strobe lighting, but who is not epileptic. Explains why I have unbalanced gait if I look at strobes, hate crowds, sudden sounds or loud places.
